~Chapter 10: The Great Escape~
"Tory-kun is a decoy?" Vivi, Princess of Arabasta asked as they ran through the hall from where Vivi had just come from.
"Yes, but right now, tell me what happened." Sanji replied, still smoking his cigarette.
"But Sanji-san, but I thought… you were just shot." Vivi said fearfully, still running.
"Me?" Sanji smirked as he told her what really happened. What really happened was that Sanji used a beat up guy to pretend to shot Sanji and talk to Crocodile. And after that, well the beat up guy will be found unconscious later. Then after that, Chopper was beating up the remaining Billions in his human form, yelling, 'I am Mr. Prince!' Perfect decoy, huh? "And that's what happened." Sanji finished explaining.
"Tony-kun will be alright, won't he?" Vivi asked worriedly.
"Yeah," Sanji grinned at her, "He's got a trick up his sleeve after all."
-x-x-x-x-
"AHHH!!! The water!! The water!!!" Luffy yelled while Usopp was screaming his head off, "We're gonna die!!! We're gonna die!!! If this cage fills, we're done for!!!"
"HEY YOU STUPID CROCODILE!!" Nami yelled, "GIMME YOUR BEST SHOT!" She was screaming her head off at the Bananawani.
"AHH, NAMI! What are you doing?!" Usopp asked, fearing that the Bananawani would try to come and eat them.
"I'm getting it mad so it'll bite this damned cage open!" Nami replied smartly, clenching a fist at the Bananawani.
"I get it! Good thinking!" Usopp praised.
Luffy understood and yelled at the Bananawani, "BRING IT ON, YOU STUPID BANANA! YOU DAMNED BANANA!"
"No, you've got it wrong." Usopp lectured, "See, fundamentally, it's a crocodile. The banana is growing from its head."
"Damned man, shut up." Luffy whispered, but Usopp just continue lecturing about why the Bananawani is a crocodile, not a banana.
I just interfered by hitting Usopp on the head, "Oi." I said sickly, not wanting the water to get any higher, "Keep talking and you'll soon drown."
"ARGHHH!!!" the crocodile roared as his jaws came down onto the cage.
….
"AHHH!!! It didn't work! What's wrong with this cage?!" Nami screamed, frustrated. Apparently, the Bananawani's teeth just broke instead of the cage.
I whistled, "If we weren't locked up inside of this cage, I would take the cage home and made sure my brother will stay at home forever."
Zoro sweat dropped, "I feel sorry for your brother…"
"Oi. You." Smoker was sitting on the bed, not getting wet at all.
"What are you doing, just sitting there?!" Usopp cried.
"DO SOMETHING TO GET US OUT OF HERE!" Luffy yelled.
"How much do you know…" Smoker just continued to talk, making the rest of us quiet, and then continue his question, "… about Crocodile's objectives." That made us really confused, but nevertheless, we still stayed silent. "That woman with Crocodile…. has been wanted by the World Government for 20 years."
OhMyGawd. My jaws dropped wide open, but I promptly closed them. 20 years? That means she's about 25 to 35 years old. I guess I like older woman, but let's hope that she's not older than 30…
"Her bounty is over 70,000,000." Smoker continued.
… WHAT?! That means she's stronger than Luffy! His bounty is only 30,000,000 beli! Older, obviously smarter, and stronger… I feel like I'll never be able to reach her. Oh wait, don't forget, she's on the bad side right now.
"70,000,000?!" Luffy yelled.
"S-so what?!" Usopp looked scared.
"That's almost as much as Crocodile's…" Nami commented, wide-eyed.
"With the two of them working together…" Smoker continued to talk as if he was never interrupted, "This is no longer simply about taking over a country. If they aren't stopped, this will develop into a disaster that will engulf the entire world." Smoker's face looked dark.
"The entire world?" I repeated.
"What do you mean?" Nami asked.
"Now's that a little TOO much to take in," Usopp whispered fearfully.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Luffy looked like he was angry that Crocodile's partner-in-crime had a higher bounty than him. "Since when did we need a reason to kick this guy's ass?"
"I see." Smoker looked at Luffy, and then closed his eyes, "Then. How are you going to get out of here?"
Luffy looked down, "AHHH!! It already reached up to my thighs!"
"We're gonna die!!! We're gonna die!! NOOO~!" Usopp floated by, lying down on the water. Not too bad of an idea, but I just sat down next to Smoker, not wanting to touch the water at all. A silent mutual agreement formed between the two of us since we both were Devil's Fruit user and… Smoker probably underestimates me a lot since I'm pretty new to the crew. Heck… I don't think I'm that strong either anyway.
"Ah, my strength's all drained out…" Luffy sighed of exhaustion, falling but Usopp caught him.
"Ah! Shit! This is bad!" Usopp yelled, "Hang on! Damn it! Isn't that what Vivi said, right?!"
"Shit. If I was a stronger swordsman…" Zoro looked like he was beating himself up in his head, "This cage would be nothing."
"Never make any noise while you're eating your meal." said a voice. Zoro and I looked for the source of the voice.
Suddenly the Bananawani was kicked, uttering a cry of pain, up into the air, and the person who was kicking the crocodile was Sanji. "ANTI-MANNER KICK COURSE!"
"Sanji!" I grinned happily; I knew that he wasn't shot! Though the name of his kicks are pretty funny, almost all of his straight up kicks look the same. The crocodile landed a few feet behind Sanji, as he faced the cage and us.
"Hey there, did I keep you waiting?" He said coolly, his hand holding his cigarette, pointing at us.
"PRINCE-SAN!!" Usopp and Luffy yelled.
"We're saved." Nami sighed of relief.
Zoro looked angry, "Stop screwing around and find the key NOW!"
"NAMI-SAN!!" Sanji just ignored his secret lover as he looked at Nami, "D-do you love me now?!"
I snickered, making Zoro turn his glare at me. I just winked at the swordsman. I did kinda feel sorry for Zoro. I mean, his lover is a cook who sucks up to the girls as if they're his lovers, not Zoro.
"Yes, yes." Nami lied, "Yes I do. Now open the door!"
"Coming~! Mellorine~! Mellorine~!" Sanji yelled back
"His stupidity has no limits…" Zoro commented.
"VIVI!! GOOD JOB!!!" Luffy gave the thumbs up to her.
She smiled back, happy that they're safe.
Haha, and then Smoker pointed out which Bananawani that had eaten the key. Sanji kicked the crocodile, making it sit out this huge clay ball. The clay ball turned out to have Mr. 3 and the key in it. Mr. 3 picked up the key, found out the situation, and stupidly threw the key back into the water, risking Sanji's wrath. Hahaha, I want to beat up Mr. 3 too.
Few seconds later, Sanji had Mr. 3 beaten up and used the man's clay ability to turn his finger into a key and open the cage. Expressing his gratitude, Sanji stuck a note onto Mr. 3's chest and kicked him away while the rest of us escaped from the cage. Alas, revenge is sweet.
Of course, after Luffy and Zoro beat up the rest of the Bananawanis, the room was suffering under the pressure of the water, making the tunnels, passages, the room's walls and the room's roof to break, letting much more water in. The sudden overflow of seawater surprised us and we were caught in the sudden wave.
Minutes later, Sanji came up to the surface first, bringing Luffy up along with him. He set Luffy down on the dry ground and stepped on the captain's stomach to let all of the water out. Then Nami and Vivi came out, having saved Usopp after a rock hit him on the head. And surprisingly, Zoro came out last, along with Smoker and me.
"Oi, oi, oi, Zoro!" Sanji scolded, "What's wrong with you, saving the enemy?"
I coughed, having choked on seawater. Vivi patted my back, "Are you okay?" she asked kindly.
I smiled weakly at her, hiding the fact that I was sad that I couldn't swim anymore, "I'm okay, thank you." I replied.
"Shut up!" Zoro said to Sanji, "I didn't want to. This was the perfect chance to get rid of him."
"Whatever. Let's just get going." Sanji sighed, "We lost a big chunk of time in there. Vivi-chan, can we still make it?"
"I don't know." Vivi replied, twisting her robes to get all of the water out.
"Roronoa!!" Smoker yelled, his jutte sword was flying towards Zoro, but Zoro just blocked it with one of his swords. "Why did you save me?" It appeared that the Smoker dude was not thankful, and his pride was hurt because he was rescued by a pirate.
"I was following Captain's orders." Zoro said simply, "Don't think you have to thank me or anything. It was just one of his whims. Forget about it."
"Then I assume you won't mind if I carry out my official duties." He seems relieved that he doesn't have to pay us back.
"Hear that? That's what we get for rescuing a Marine." Sanji commented.
"AHH! Where's Crocodile!" Luffy yelled, standing up.
"Alright! Let's go, men!" Usopp cheered, also standing up.
"Ah, they finally woke up." I commented, already standing up. People were staring at the two guys, looking like idiots.
"Ah, Smokey!" Luffy finally noticed Smoker, "Wanna fight?!"
Smoker looked at Luffy for the longest time before closing his eyes and saying, "Go."
"Huh?"
"But this is the last time I'll let you go." Smoker continued, "When we meet again, your life is over." Marines were yelling as they were running towards us, intending to back up their Captain Smoker.
Zoro laughed, while the rest of us looked at Smoker. Sanji smiled, "Let's get going. The Marines are on their way. Which way is Alubarna?"
"This way! Straight to the east!" Vivi pointed before all of us began running towards that direction.
"Oi, Luffy! Hurry up! What are you doing?" I called out to him. I stopped running, looking at Luffy, who haven't moved yet.
"Ah, wait." Luffy replied before looking at Smoker. Then he grinned really wide, "Y'know. I don't hate you."
Smoker blinked then he turned red as he yelled, "Get out of here NOW!" He took out his jutte again, swinging it at Luffy.
"Eh!" Luffy dodged and began running after the rest of us. I smiled, and ran after him.
Once we caught up to the others, Usopp were yelling, "Faster! Faster! Faster!"
And then Luffy took the lead, "YOSH! EVERYONE! WE'RE HEADING STRAIGHT TO ALUBARNA!!"
"AYE!!!" the rest of us yelled willingly.
-x-x-x-
We ran across the city fast, and finally reached the edge of time. "Don't tell me we're running all the way to Alubarna!" Usopp complained. He was just enthusiastic a few minutes ago.
"There's some stables here right?" Luffy called out, "Let's go get some!"
"But the Marines are in the city!" Vivi protested.
"Not to worry." Sanji said calmly, "Look ahead."
We obeyed and were surprised at what was coming to us. "OI!" Chopper waved, along with Eyelashes, as they rode on a gigantic crab.
"C-crab!" Usopp's eyes popped out.
"A Moving Crab!" Vivi said, surprised, but nevertheless she smiled.
The crab stopped right before us, "COOL!" Luffy exclaimed.
"Let's ride!" Chopper called out to us.
"We can ride it?!" Luffy asked, excitingly before he used his rubber arms and got on without any hesitation.
Nami shivered, "Its eyes look a little shady, don't you think?" she commented before getting on as well.
"You brought something amazing with you again." Sanji complimented.
"He's a friend of Eyelashes!" Chopper told us as the crab used his hands as elevators and took us to the top of his shell, "Eyelashes was born in this town, so he has friends all over the place! But they're all perverts…"
"That explains the shady eyes." I whispered to Nami, who nodded.
"My word!" Vivi exclaimed, "Moving Crabs stayed burrowed in the sand so long… that they're like phantom crabs. But we have one right here!"
"It's pretty fast, isn't it?" Zoro remembered the speed it went at to get here.
"Guys, hold on tight!" Chopper called out before snapping the reins, "Yosh! Get ready! Let's go!"
The Moving Crab started to speed towards our destination at a extremely fast speed, but then a random golden hook grabbed Vivi and began going back to its owner. "AHHH!!" Vivi screamed.
"STOP CHOPPER!" Zoro yelled. Chopper obeyed.
"It's him!" Luffy yelled, before stretching his arms to hang onto the golden hook and Vivi, leaped towards her, took her out of the hook and threw her back towards us. Still hanging onto the hook, Luffy was quickly going back to where Crocodile was.
"Oi Luffy!" I called, but when Vivi landed right into my arms, I lost my footing and fell off, not before throwing Vivi up into Sanji's arms. "Ugh!!!" I landed onto the desert floor.
"You guys go on ahead! I'LL BE FINE BY MYSELF!" Luffy yelled to the rest of the crew. I kinda hit my head a random rock and was tending to the small injury. Luffy landed on the ground as well now, "Make sure she gets there safely! Get Vivi back home! Make sure." Luffy said, about 50 feet away from me. Then he grinned.
All of them hesitated, but when Luffy said, "Make sure, okay?" once again, Zoro strained a smile, obviously against leaving Luffy alone with Crocodile and the other woman, "Baka…" he said before turning around, "Oi! You heard what the captain said, Chopper!! Straight from here… to Alubarna!"
Sanji looked down at me and said as he carefully put Vivi down onto the crab, "Take care of him, okay?"
I gave him a thumb up, "You kidding? I'll be his babysitter this time. I'll make sure he doesn't play too rough." I winked at the rest of the crew, immediately reassuring all of them except for Vivi.
"Yes. I got it." Chopper said, "LET'S GO!" He snapped the reins again, and the Moving Crab took off at a fast pace, leaving Luffy and me alone…. with Crocodile.
Luffy looked at me, "Why didn't you go?" he asked, not that mad that I stayed behind.
"To make sure your ass doesn't get whipped, captain." I replied respectfully before saying, "Iru Iru Invisible." Immediately, Luffy and no one else can see me. All I can do is to watch the upcoming fight; I wasn't strong enough to fight at Luffy's side. Besides, Luffy has the honor of kicking Crocodile's ass and no one else.
Luffy grinned at me, or at least the spot where I was before I turned invisible, "Thanks." was all he said, thankful that I understood.
"LUFFY-SAN!!" Vivi screamed from faraway, her voice echoing, "WE SHALL AWAIT YOU IN ALUBARNA!!!"
Luffy grinned once again, "OKAY!!!" his voice echoing back.
A few seconds later, Luffy and I both heard a laugh and Crocodile's sidekick said, "Ran away from us, didn't she? Princess Vivi."
"Either way, the Agents in Alubarna should have completed their orders already." Crocodile replied, "Contact them at once." He looked at Luffy, "I think… that your games have gone on for too long, Straw Hat Luffy."
Luffy got up, and sat properly, facing Crocodile. He took off the blue scarf that was holding onto his hat, and put his hand on his own hat. "You know her…" Luffy started to speak, "Even though she's weak, she still tried to save everyone. She's always in pain because she can't bear to abandon anything. She even wants to stop this rebellion without anyone dying."
"Without anyone dying?" Crocodile repeated, "There are many stupid, mushy pacifists like that. Those who do not know the truth of battle." I clenched my fists, wanting to punch him myself, but restrained myself. I had to remind myself that Luffy was going to do that for me. I quietly snuck closer to them, making sure that I wasn't leaving footprints by stepping onto the huge holes that the huge crab had made. "You agree with me, don't you?" Crocodile asked.
Luffy looked up and said, "Yeah." Then he began standing up, "But as long as you're alive, she's going to keep fighting to her last breath. That's why I'm…" Luffy yelled the last part, "STOPPING YOU HERE!"
I smiled proudly of Luffy, knowing that he will succeed in beating this terrible, horrible, stupid, and other bad names Crocodile! I had to stop myself from cheering him on so that I wouldn't get found out. It's miracle that they haven't noticed that I fell off the crab. I looked at Luffy, and then at Crocodile, then finally at ummmm, Miss All Sunday was it? What a bright and cheerful name for an obvious bad guy, errr girl.
I blinked, oh shit, she's looking directly at me… or at least through me. I looked over my shoulder, trying to see if anything was behind me that caught the woman's attention. Nope. Nothing. I looked back her, and it really looked like she was looking right at me.
She started to walk far away, but still close enough to watch the battle. She looked at me again or at least in my general directions and mouthed the words, 'Stay away. This is going to be a dangerous battle.' Then she began talking on the Baby Den Den Mushi. I looked at Luffy and Crocodile once more before making my way to a safe distance from Crocodile. At least Miss All Sunday was kind enough to give me a warning.
Crocodile laughed like the conceited bastard he was. Oh, pardon my French by the way. "That's more than pathetic." He looked at Luffy like my captain was a fool, "Fools like you are beyond help." Look at who's talking, bub.
Luffy merely stretched and looked at Crocodile with a slight smile, "Then you really are blind and stupid, huh?" I let out a small snicker while Miss All Sunday chuckled softly.
Crocodile got really mad at this point, since Luffy just insulted him. He said, "Did you really find that funny? Make I should kill you too, Nice Robin." He looked at her with the corner of his eyes.
Nico Robin? What a nice name… I looked thoughtful, though no one could see that.
"If that's how you feel, do as you wish." Nico Robin replied, smiling slightly. She was really amused by Luffy's insults, but then she asked, "And what ever happened to your promise to not call me by that name?" She began walking away.
"Where are you going?" Crocodile asked.
"I'm going ahead to Alubarna." Nico Robin merely replied.
"Insufferable woman." Crocodile insulted her under his breath. Then he pulled out an hourglass filled with sand, "I'll give you three minutes." Crocodile told Luffy, "After that, I won't have time to play with you anymore. Any problems with that?"
"Nope. Fine by me." Luffy replied, and then suddenly yelled, "Gomu Gomu No Pistol!" His rubber hand barely hit Crocodile, the part Luffy hit just turned to sand. I bit my lips, which was a bad habit by the way, fearing that this would take longer than 3 minutes. Damn sand.
Crocodile completely turned into sand, and swung his hook at Luffy's face, who barely dodged by leaning at the back. "Gomu Gomu No Stamp!" Luffy's feet went straight through Crocodile's sand body again.
It went on for a while, Luffy's attacks having no effect since Crocodile's body was so sandy. And while Luffy's attacking, Crocodile was always trying to taunt Luffy and insult him so badly… makes me pissed, yo. Haha, always wanted to say that, sorry.
I blinked; I can not believe that I blanked out during most of the freaking battle. And it's really sad to say that Luffy's not doing so well against this sandman. I had the urge to fight Crocodile myself. But I knew that it was the Captain's duty to fight the mastermind of this whole fiasco. So I stayed put… took a whole handful of will power to stay in that one spot, but I did it.
I stayed there and watched the sand surrounded Luffy. I stayed there and watched Luffy's water get sucked out of him. And I stayed there and watched Crocodile laugh at the bleeding Luffy that was sinking into the huge crater. And I stayed there and watched Crocodile leave.
I quickly ran towards the huge crater that Luffy was sucked into, after making sure that Crocodile had completely left. "LUFFY!" I yelled. I was scared, yes I was. He just had a golden hook into his stomach, bleeding a lot, and unconscious. But how am I supposed to get him out.
Suddenly a few arms came out of the crater, surprising me a bit, and threw Luffy out of the crater and into my arms. I was his cushion for his landing and I was so glad that he was safe. "Luffy." I gently laid him down and gathered his hat that fell off and his red robes that protected him from the blazing hot sand. They both fell off of him when he was fighting Crocodile.
Then suddenly, Luffy opened his eyes and yelled, "MEAT!" It didn't look like he was completely awake, but that really shocked me.
I scrambled over to him, with his hat and robes and said, "Luffy?! Oi! Wake up!" Then I heard footsteps, and I turned around, my eyes widening, "You!"
"I prefer not to be called, 'you', but since I don't know your name as well… I'll accept that." Nico Robin replied, looking completely serious.
I shook my head, standing up and walked a few steps towards her, we were roughly the same height, I hope. "No, I know your name. Nico Robin, right? Thanks for saving Luffy."
"How did you know I saved your captain?" she questioned me.
I smiled slightly at her, "Well, I can't make arms and Luffy can't either, so it must have been you… Robin." I didn't call her Nico, but I liked the Robin part.
She thought for a second, and slowly accepted being called Robin by me, "Then, what is your name?"
"Me?" I was happy that she wanted to know, though I guess she was only asking out of curiosity, "I'm Seiji Suzuki, pleased to make your acquaintance." I bowed like a gentleman.
I guess she wasn't used to being treated gently, or at least as gently? Errrr, I don't know, but she just smiled, "I don't think we're acquaintances, Seiji-san. We're enemies, remember?"
"Ah, but if we're enemies, then why did you save Luffy?" I replied with a difficult question, wondering why she saved him.
Then we heard a cough and heavy breathing, "Luffy!" I looked at the heavily bleeding guy.
"Th-an-k you…" Luffy looked at Robin, now awake. It seemed that he also knew that Robin saved him, not me.
Robin looked at Luffy with a strange look, and then asked, "Why do you fight?" She paused, but then continued, "You people who carry the name of D."
"D?" Luffy questioned, and then coughed. I looked around for water and saw none. Damn it.
She looked at Luffy for a little longer before saying, "It seems I shouldn't have asked."
Then this strange looking guy who was also bleeding and such was walking towards us slowly and said, "I finally found you! Where's Vivi-sama?!" He had a sword and was coming towards Robin threateningly.
Vivi? He knows her? I kept quiet, realizing that my invisibility illusion worn off the very moment when I ran towards Luffy.
"Oh my." Robin said, amused, "Awake already?"
"I have witnessed your ability! I will not be caught off guard again!" He replied, angry. I finally realized that I, too, had witnessed a small ounce of Robin's ability. Arms recreated on another surface…. Cool…
"Don't overstress yourself. You're severely injured." Haha, she doesn't even sound concerned for him. He continued walking towards us. And she began walking away, "What perfect timing. You can take care of those two boys over there." She didn't even look back. The injured man looked at Luffy and then at me. "They are the brave knights who brought your precious Princess all the way here. And your Princess is perfectly healthy. She's heading to Alubarna as we speak." Robin climbed onto a Bananawani that was nearby conveniently for her. "I don't know what's going to happen. The circumstances are what they are, after all." The Bananawani took off with such fast speed.
I think it was a sand version, not the kind who lives in water. Oh, what am I talking about? "Luffy!" I immediately went to Luffy's side again. Then the man collapsed onto his knees, panting very heavily.
Luffy grabbed my sleeves, "MEAT!" he yelled angrily.
I looked at the other man, and introduced ourselves weakly, "Hey, I'm Seiji Suzuki, and this Monkey D. Luffy. As you can see, Luffy's really injured and he needs meat." Then I added thoughtfully, "a LOT of meat. And you are?"
"P-pell." The man replied, looking at Luffy and me, not believing that we're the ones who brought Vivi all the way to Arabasta.
"Pleased to meet you," I replied, "Well, as you can see, Luffy's bleeding. Know any place we can some meat and bandages?" It was a wonder how my stomach hasn't turned all queasy yet, considering how much blood was coming out of Luffy's body.
And so, our beautiful friendship began between a boy crying 'MEAT!', a falcon dude, and of course, me, you average Japanese teenage boy with stomach problems. Yeeaaahhhhhh… beautiful friendship indeed.
-x-x-x-
It was morning and the Rebel Army was within 15 kilometers of Alubarna. The Royal Army was waiting for them. Within thirty minutes, a battle will begin.
And six lone figures on six spot billed ducks were coming towards Alubarna as well, confusing the numbered agents. "Which one is Vivi?!" cried one of the numbered agents, since their job was to eliminate Vivi.
Oooh, what shall happen now? Eh? You don't know? Same here… Why don't you watch the anime or read the manga, huh?? I wasn't even there to see it! Remember?? I was with Luffy and my new friend, Pell! And besides, we need to get chopping, there are a lot of One Piece episodes, and we're only around episode 112! You can't blame me for falling into the One Piece World this early!
-x-x-x-
So, anyway, here we are… Luffy, Pell, and me, Seiji. Haha, where are we? I voiced my question out to the two other guys. And guess what the answer was, "The sky." Yes, we were in the sky. Yay… And yes, I do feel like throwing up, thank you very much. I've been on a plane before, and yes I did throw up every minute of the way. And why am I not barfing right now? That would be extremely rude to Pell, our pilot, errr falcon or plane…
So yes, I am keeping the barf in my mouth. And no, I did not swallow it back into my stomach. That would be extremely disgusting… right? Oh yes, Luffy did eat as much meat that Pell could afford but not as much as Luffy wanted to eat. Hehe, Luffy's a really fast healer; almost all of the bandages weren't needed, except for that small hole in Luffy's stomach. Gosh, that hook must've been really sharp since it went through rubber easily.
We had to stop a few times, not more than ten though, along the way to Alubarna. Why? Well, Pell's injured too, don't be so harsh on the guy who went against Nico Robin, the 28 year old woman who has over a 70,000,000 beli bounty. We had a five minute break every stop and we're making good time. And yes, every break, I take advantage of as well. To do what? What do you think?
P.U.K.E.
If you want it in simpler terms, B.A.R.F.
Want it simpler?
Stuff out of your stomach out of your mouth.
Gross, right?
Glad you agree.
We were taking another short five minute break where Luffy was wasting his energy, looking at desert animals like. "SCORPIAN!" I yelled at Luffy, "Put it down! It's poisonous!"
"But it's meat." Apparently Luffy was still hungry and still couldn't get it into his head that small scorpions equal to a big, fat NO.
"I don't care if it is meat, but we don't have Chopper, so we won't be able to get the poison out if it stings you, so GET. RID. OF. IT." God, I sound like Nami now. Errr, no offense, Nami. Haha…
"FINE." Luffy whined, throwing the scorpion at Pell.
"Gah!" Pell was extremely tired from having two passengers and was trying to have a five minute break. But of course, the scorpion on his face did interrupt his little nap.
My eyes widened, "Get it off of him Luffy! Get it off!" I was frantically pointing at the scorpion, which prepared to sting Pell's face.
"Noooo, Pell's strong, he'll survive." Luffy pouted and sat down, looking the other way.
"If he dies, then we won't be able to go to Alubarna, and you won't be able to beat up Crocodile." I tried to persuade Luffy.
"CROCODILE!" Luffy roared and began chasing Pell around, trying to smack the scorpion dead on Pell's face.
"Luffy-san, stop it!" Pell tried yelling at him, while trying to avoid being whacked on the face and he was also trying to get the scorpion off of his face. "If you continue to chase me, the scorpion will sting me!"
Pell glared at me, but I just laughed. Luffy's so gullible. But then I felt bad for Pell. So I trapped Luffy inside a see through box and smack the scorpion off of Pell's face. "Thank you." Pell sighed of relief.
I grinned, and snapped my fingers, "I think we can have an extra five minute break, don't you think so?" The box trapping Luffy dispelled and Luffy resumed chasing Pell around. "It's good to let some tension and energy out once in a while." I settled down under a huge shade of rock and proceeded to watch the funny scene before me.
"Argh, Seiji-san! A little help here?!" Pell was really tired and just changed into his falcon form, grabbed Luffy and me by our clothes with his claws, and took off for another few miles towards Alubarna.
"Awww, you're no fun, Pell." I complained and Luffy agreed.
"Oh shut up." Pell rolled his eyes.
-x-x-x-
"We're lost, aren't we?" I mumbled again, poking Pell with a stray stick.
Pell grumbled, "We're not lost! We just got a bit detoured by that sandstorm! That's all! Now let me think about where's Alubarna is!"
"Hah! So we are lost!" I declared, poking him again. Pell got angry and broke my poor stick in half. "Okay, okay, chill, dude. I won't poke you again."
Luffy poked Pell with a rock. "LUFFY-SAN!" Pell roared, stomping his foot at my captain.
"We're lost, and I want meat~" Luffy whined, sitting on the ground, looking liking a hopeless puppy.
"We already crossed the Sandora River, so we're closer to Alubarna." Pell replied, a vein popping out, you could really tell that he's annoyed by the two of us, "I think I know where the general direction is. Here, get on me again." He turned into his falcon form, and waited for us to board onto his back since we were complaining how he carried us by our clothes last time. Luffy almost fell down into the river, but luckily, Pell caught him in time.
I sighed, getting really tired of throwing up, and now I have practically nothing to throw up, "Yay, can't wait for the feast Vivi promised us at the end of all of this."
"Yeah!" Luffy agreed, getting on as well. He began drooling at the thought of huge feast and all the food he'd try to stuff down his throat at once.
"Don't drool on my feathers!" Pell scolded as he took off into the air, which was the worse part of our flying journey.
"This way!" Luffy pointed.
I smacked Luffy's hand, "Idiot! No! That's where we just came from! Don't listen to the idiot, Pell!"
"Right…" Luffy chuckled stupidly.
Pell huffed as he flew, "Quiet passengers, the pilot is trying to bring you safely over the desert towards Alubarna! This pilot needs absolute concentration, so not one peep from you!"
"Why didn't you say that in the beginning?" I complained again as Luffy shut up, "We had to go through more than 5,000 words about Luffy's brother! No offense to Ace, but I swear, Luffy has a brother complex!" Then I added dryly, "And I never knew that he knew the word, 'smart'."
"Yeah! Luffy agreed, but then realized what he agreed to, "Hey!"
Pell and I just chuckled.
-x-x-x-
I looked through the binoculars that I made out of my illusion powers. It was pretty cool, and the binoculars unfortunately only last for a few seconds. But I managed to see a speck in the distance, which I reported to Pell.
"Ah, that might be ruins near Alubarna." Pell replied, thoughtfully. "I'm quite surprised we're going this fast with two heavy people on me."
I shrugged, "Blame the meat eating rubber boy behind me. I'm sure he's the only reason why we're heavy."
Pell did look behind him for a split second before turning his head forwards again, "Yes, I completely understand." He agreed dryly. "Perhaps he's also the reason why I can not breathe that well."
Luffy was letting the wind carry his rubbery head and arms way back, using his legs to wrap around Pell's body to keep him from falling off. "WOOOHOO!!" Luffy laughed, enjoying himself.
-x-x-x-
"I SEE ALUBARNA!" Luffy yelled, deafening Pell and me.
"HUH?!" I asked, "I CAN"T HEAR YOU, LUFFY!"
"I SAID," Luffy yelled louder, "I SEE ALUBARNA!"
"WHAT?!" I stupidly asked again.
"I SAIIIDDDD!!!" Luffy practically screamed in my ear, "I SEEEEEE ALUBARNAAAAA!!!!!!"
"Okay, okay, okay!" I slapped Luffy's mouth closed, "I heard you."
"But you said that you couldn't hear me." Luffy replied, prying my hand off of his mouth.
"Well, you deafened me the first time." I replied dryly, "It's no wonder I couldn't hear you the second and third time."
Pell just continued flying and sighed, "What did Vivi-sama and Igaram-san see in you guys?" He asked out loud, mostly to himself.
I just grinned and leaned closer to Pell's head, "We're just very special, Pell. In fact, if you guys were where I lived, I would be the sanest guy and Luffy would be in a mental institute & medical research center while the zoo can keep you locked in a cage all day, Pell."
"Huhhh?" Pell questioned, "Where do you live, Seiji-san?"
Luffy butted in, "Yeah, Seiji! Where do you live?!"
I just grinned, "Oh somewhere far away, in a distant land called... Oh look! We're getting really close to Alubarna!" I tried to distract them by pointing at Alubarna. You could clearly see the Royal and Rebel Army fighting.
"Oh, Seiji's right!" Luffy got distracted easily.
Pell frowned at me, but also looked, slowing down the flight, "All passengers on this falcon, hold on tight as there are not seatbelts. Prepare for the final landing where Pell, the pilot, which is the falcon himself, will drop us off at our final destination, the Palace of Alubarna." I mimicked the flight attendant from a plane.
"Be careful!" Pell warned as he swooped down above the fighting, I kinda stole a barrel of water from a nearby shop while we're at it since Luffy told me we're gonna need it. And Pell flew into the Palace, where there was the King, Vivi, Chaka, three other guards, Crocodile, and of course, Nico Robin. Ah~.
Luffy jumped off of Pell a bit too early, with the barrel on his back, and shouted, "CROCODILE!"
Crocodile merely raised an eyebrow at Luffy, a little angry that Luffy was still alive, "So you're still alive? Did that brat on that bird help you out?"
I bristled as I slowly got off of Pell, "Who are you calling a brat, you stupid sandman?!" Ah, it felt good to call the Shichibukai names.
Pell reverted back to his human form and walked over to Vivi. "Are you alright, Vivi-sama?!"
"Luffy! Pell! Seiji!" Vivi cried, "I'm so glad that all of you are alright and safe!"
"Well duh!" I grinned in a silly way, "What else? Thought we were dead?"
Vivi paused, and laughed nervously, "No."
"Cobra-sama!" Pell looked at the King, who was tied up and held hostage by Robin. He clenched his fist, "You! Release Cobra-sama now!"
Robin looked highly amused, "Oh-ho. You think you can order me around?"
Crocodile just ordered her, "Get moving, I'll catch up soon."
"Right." Robin's smile disappeared as she forced the King through the huge doors, the huge doors slowly closing behind them. It seemed like the King was leading her somewhere important. I looked at Luffy, and then at Pell, strained. They just nodded to me, telling me to go ahead and follow.
"Bye!" I whispered and turned invisible again, sneaking past Crocodile.
"Hm? Where did that brat go?" Crocodile didn't notice that I managed to get through the huge doors before they finally closed. "No matter, he probably ran off, scared like the coward he is." NOT TRUE, BUB!
I glared through the walls, imagining that my glare would burn a hold through his back. Then again, he's a sandman, so it wouldn't work on him. Wait, I shook my head, now's not the time to be thinking about that. I quickly, but quietly, ran after Robin and the King, wondering where they were going.
As I followed them, I silently prayed that Luffy, Pell, Nami, Vivi, Usopp, Chopper, Sanji, Zoro, Carue, and yes, the Ero Camel as well, will be alright. 'This is only going to be tougher.' I thought, not knowing that there were a few other details that I'm missing out. But of course, that all didn't matter to me right now as I walked right behind Robin and the King. The problem right now was to find out what Robin's up to and where we're going.
Let's hope it's not a grave yard, okay?
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
ASV: Wheeeee!!! That was really fun to write! You know, in the anime, they never really showed what Pell and Luffy did together! So I really just mixed it up and made it more fun! ^^ I may have gotten the facts a bit wrong, but hey! MY FANFICTION STORY, MY WRITING! Hahaha, but still, I'm sorry for updating soooo late!
Yesterday was Chinese New Years and I had fun lighting firecrackers all day long! I skipped school, by the way. ;)
Seiji: Dude. You actually made it more interesting….
ASV: Thank you, finally a compliment from you, Seiji. Why are you nice to everyone, but me?
Seiji: Because you gave me STOMACH PROBLEMS. Why am I so pathetic sounding? Oh yeah, it's YOUR fault.
ASV: Right, whatever. Anyway! Please review, hope you guys enjoyed my 10th chapter! ^^
ASV: Haha, I just love Pell. xD
Pell: Ummm, thank you, ASV-san.
ASV: Your welcome! :D
Seiji: ANYWAY~ While ASV attempts to flirt with Pell, PLEASE MOVE ON.
ASV: Seiji! I'm deeply insulted! I don't flirt with anime characters! Actually, I never flirted at all in my life. PERIOD.
Seiji: Rigggghhhtttt, just remember that Pell belongs to Vivi.
Pell: My life does belong to Vivi-sama and Cobra-sama.
ASV: I KNOW THAT. STOP RUBBING IT IN.
Seiji: Hahahaa.
ASV: ANYWAY! BLOOPERS TIME!!!
Bloopers: Luffy, Pell, & Seiji Scene 1
Seiji: Where are we?
Pell: The sky.
Seiji: You're kidding right? I thought we were just faking the flying scene!
Pell: Stop moving around, you're gonna fall- God, Seiji!
Seiji: You were saying?
Pell: You weren't supposed to throw up on me!
Seiji: -wipes mouth- Sorry, but I couldn't help it.
Pell: DISGUSTING!
ASV: Haha, we'll take a break here. Let's clean you two up, Pell, Seiji.
Luffy: WOOOHOOO!!
ASV: … Luffy, that line is for later.
Luffy: But –whines- , you guys got to talk, and I didn't!
ASV: Talk later, clean NOW.
Luffy, Seiji, & Pell: Yes Ma'am. –scared-
Bloopers: Luffy, Pell, & Seiji Scene 1, 2nd part
Seiji: Scorpian! Put it down! It's poisonous!
Luffy: But it's meat.
Seiji: I don't care if it is meat, but we don't have Chopper, so we won't be able to get the poison out if it stings you, so GET. RID. OF. IT.
Luffy: FINE. –throws scorpion at Pell-
Pell: AHHHH!!!!! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! –runs around with a girly shrieking voice-
ASV: Ummmm, Pell?
Pell: GET IT OFFFFFF!!!!!!
ASV: PELL!!
Pell: -stops running- Yes Ma'am?
ASV: It's a fake scorpion, just a rubber toy. Nothing poisonous.
Pell: -sighs of relief- Oh, that's good. Now I don't have to worry about my face and make up being messed up.
Seiji: O.O I can't believe I'm going to ride on a gay bird.
Pell: -preens feathers- I'm not gay, Seiji-san! –glares- I'm just… worried about my appearance as much as girls!
Seiji: Right….
ASV: ANYWAY, RETAKE! I don't need a worse image of Pell right now… -walks away-
Bloopers: Seiji, Luffy, & Pell Scene 2
Seiji: We're lost, aren't we?
Pell: We're not lost! … We just got a bit detoured by that sandstorm! That's all! Now let me think about where's Alubarna is!
Seiji: Hah! So we are lost!
Pell: Grrr…. –breaks stick-
Seiji: Okay, okay, chill dude. I won't poke you again.
Luffy: -pokes Pell with a rock-
Pell: LUFFY! You just ruined my make up!!!
Luffy: Eeep! But it was part of the script!
Pell: IT WAS NOT PART OF THE SCRIPT TO RUIN MY MAKE UP.
ASV: OKAY, CALM DOWN PELL! Your make up does NOT matter right now, so CALM DOWN.
Pell: -breathes deeply- But, but my make up… -starts dabbing make up back on his face-
Seiji: O.O I told you, hire another guy to be Pell. Preferably NOT gay.
ASV: … Sorry, but he's the only Pell we got. I'm still a bit low on the budget and all. But seriously, my mental image of Pell… ABSOLUTELY RUINED! –sobs and runs away-
Seiji: Boy, isn't she sensitive when it comes to Pell…
ASV: I'm sorry, no more bloopers. Since Pell did so horribly in the future retakes, I couldn't bare to show them to you. T.T
Seiji: Horrible as in ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS.
ASV: Seiji! Falling into the river and crying for his mother is NOT hilarious!
Seiji: Exactly what I said, classic and HILARIOUS. I mean, he was crying for his MOM, and the river wasn't that deep!
ASV: -.- Well, how would you like it if I throw YOU in the river, huh? You'd drown!
Seiji: -pales- You wouldn't do that, right ASV?
ASV: Hmmm, would I now?
Seiji: C'mon! I love you! You're the best authoress in the whole wide world and my favorite creator!
ASV: Forget about being the best authoress in the whole wide world, I'm your ONLY creator.
Seiji: Right, but still! All my love for only you!
Robin: But Seiji-san. I thought you and I were supposed to be together…
Seiji: Oh, Robin dear! We are! I love you too! In an intimate way! My love for ASV is merely between a creator and her original character, professional love. Nothing more, nothing less. My heart completely belongs to you, baby.
Robin: Right… -walks away-
Seiji: Wait! No! Robin! Come back! –runs after her-
ASV: Hahaha, serves him right.
ANYWAY!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE~
REVIEW~!!!!!
